Hello,
There are times in our lives when we must stand up for
certain issues, rights or just pass on information
that we believe is crucial. For me, this is one of
those times. After about 14 months and 1500 some hours
of research, I know that at least a dozen very
effective cancer treatments have and are being
suppressed by the pharmaceutical/medical complex. My
answer as to Why?
is fairly long and is answered at my newly created
non-profit website. My article, "The
Cancer Racket" was published in "Clamor" magazines
Feb/Mar (re-titled, "Can You Trust Your Doctor"?)
issue this year. Feel free to email and circulate it
on the Internet, unchanged, non-commercially and with
attribute please.
Over ten thousand Americans die every week from
cancer, a medical vietnam every 6 weeks. Yet here we
are in the 21st century still being prescribed the
same three treatments that have failed for over 50
years; surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Surgery is the most effective of the three but has
limitations and other disadvantages. Chemotherapy and
radiation are toxic, cause cancer, and wreck the
immune system. They cause very serious side-effects
and do far more harm than good for the vast majority
of cancer patients. But those are our main options, so
the oncologists say.
Please read this next story and try to put yourself in
the shoes of Ric and Paula Schiff. In 1993 their 4
year old daughter, Crystin, became ill with the
most deadly form of brain cancer. Crystin underwent
surgery at the University of California at San
Francisco Medical Center (UCSF). Crystin's prognosis
was bleak, she would be dead in a few months.
Chemotherapy and radiation treatment may extend her
life further, but the side-effects were appalling. Ric
and Paula were told there were no other treatment
options.
Crystin went through six months of hell. During this
time Ric and Paula found out about Dr. Burzynski's
non-toxic antineoplastons that have very few short
term side effects and are very effective against brain
cancer. The doctors at UCSF told them it was
worthless. Ric and Paula decided to go ahead anyway.
Incredibly, antineoplastons put Crystin into
remission. Although Crystin died in 1995, it was not
from cancer, but from brain damage as a result of
chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Later Ric and Paula found out that a doctor at UCSF
had taken a close interest in a previous patients
success using antineoplastons . From 1989/1993 Dr.
Prados had sent Burzynski 14 lettters documenting the
case of Jeff Keller's brain cancer remission using
Burzynski's treatment. Yet this doctor told Ric and
Paula Schiff that antineoplastons were useless. See my
section "Three
Children Denied The Best Treatment" for more
information.
Children with brain cancer in America must first be
treated with chemotherapy/radiation treatment. After
the pharmaceutical companies have extracted their
blood
dollars the child may be allowed access to
antineoplastons. But it is usually too late because
the chemotherapy/radiation has destroyed the childs
immune system. Parents who try refusing orthodox
cancer treatments for their children will probably be
facing a court order and their child made a ward of
the State.
Please help spread the word about the most egregious
scandal in the history of medicine. The
pharmaceutical/medical complex ban natural/cheap
cancer treatments so they can keep peddling their
highly lucrative chemotherapy and
radiation treatments. Meanwhile, our children,
grandparents, wives, husbands, family and friends keep
dying.
Thank you for your time.

the Cancer Indu$try
Please take a look at:
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/burzynski1.html for some real information about Burzynski's background and qualifications, the chemical nature of the substnces he promotes as a cancer treatment and the results of studies of these substances in both the U.S. and Japan.
You might also find this interesting:
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/burzynski2.html on the nature of Dr. Burzynski's "clinical trials", which appear to function primarily as a means of getting around the laws governing treatments of unproven safety and efficacy, while failing to generate data useful in assessing his treatment.
Claims of "suppression" have been characteristic of medical quacks throughout the past century. They ring hollow when the promoter of a new treatment refuses to put it to the test of organized trials with a scientifically valid protocol.
The following is taken from the Millenium Project's Cancer 100 challenge page(
http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/cancer100.htm):
"There are lots of people out there who claim to have cured cancer in patients. Some of the people making these claims are medical doctors who have records showing the detection and identification of the disease, the course of treatment (or treatments) taken, the results of those treatments, and long-term follow-up of the patients documenting the absence of the disease after several years. This is called "medicine" and is a form of science. A lot of other people claim to have cured cancer using unconventional means. Many of these people claim to have discovered or invented chemical preparations, machines, diets and other means of curing cancer. When challenged for evidence of their claims, they generally respond that scientists don't understand what they are doing, or that the drug companies want to suppress their ideas, or some other specious excuse about why they can't say how their cure works. Well, I'm going to make it easy for them by simply asking them to prove the effectiveness of what they do. The method is not important, only the results, and effectiveness is quite easy to assess.
I live near a large hospital which treats a lot of people with cancer. With a bit of effort and the right pieces of paper, I could get case histories of 100 patients which showed that:
1. A life-threatening form of cancer had been diagnosed (by scientific means, not just by looking or asking questions) before treatment started.
2. The patient had undergone some form of treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, combination)
3. The patient was alive and free of that cancer 5 years after the treatment had finished.
Now, I want alternative cancer curers to provide me with the same, paying particular attention to points 1 and 3. I don't want to hear about people who didn't have cancer after the treatment unless it can be proved that they had it before, and I don't want to hear about people who had conventional medical treatment as well as "alternative", and I don't want to hear about people who died 6 months after coming back broke from Tijuana, and I don't want to hear about how many hard bits there were in their stools after they were zapped, and I don't want to hear about how this isn't a way to prove the cure claims.
Simple, isn't it? 100 people who actually had cancer, then got treated by an alternative medicine practitioner (with no conventional treatment, of course), then were alive without that cancer 5 years later.
I can't offer any monetary award for this, but a Nobel Prize is waiting out there. I promise to support the nomination."
I can't argue with this logic. Your move, Dr. Burzynski. Got just 100 documented case histories?
Quackwatch cannot seem to find anything wrong with modern technology. It has no qualms about defending genetic engineering, food irradiation, pesticides, water fluoridation, mercury amalgam fillings, vaccines, psychiatric drugs, or chemotherapy. According to this voice of reason, those alternative health nuts just want people to waste their money on things like organic food, herbs, vitamins, bottled water, and all sorts of unproven, unscientific, dangerous, irrational approaches to disease treatment and prevention.
Quakewatch Is nothing more than a corporate pr site. I can't believe some jackass actually posted that crap in here.
The true quacks are those that give people with cancer radiation and Chemotherapy.
